God Bless America

This is from a section of an article that I read this morning:

One supporter muttered, "I'm feeling like doom is coming."
In closing, Kyl cited a Bible passage that seemed as appropriate an ending to McCain's campaign as any.
2 Timothy 4:7: "I have fought a good fight. I have finished my course. I have kept the faith."
Before McCain took the stage, Nathaniel Eyler, 29, of Phoenix, mouthed the words as the song "God Bless the USA" played.
"Scared," he said in response to how he felt about the outcome, calling Obama a "socialist."
"I'm not going to sugarcoat it. I'm scared. Just the idea of Barack Obama as president of the United States scares me. It does not embody the idealism I grew up with and am passionate about. We're Americans. We're resilient. We'll bounce back. Our government's idiot-proof. There's nothing he can do that we can't fix in the end."
Still, he said, "We're going to be taking steps backwards."

I am a strong believer in the fact that we live in the BEST country on earth--regardless of our economic situation or other problems we face, it is an extreme blessing to call the USA home. John McCain's speech last night brought tears to my eyes--he said that America had spoken and we needed to support President Obama and stand together and work together for what is right--and he said it with such sincerity. Obama may stand against everything that I am for, but he will get my prayers and support as President, because I think that is what God would have us do. This is not a time for bitterness. Because however our beliefs may differ--I know that we all agree that the United States of America is truly the land of the free and the home of the brave. We can never forget that. So, let's join together and pray for our country and our President.
